Sometimes, when I’m staring into the walls in my room (because I can’t sleep), a lot of things are pouring inside my head. Things like: what will I do tomorrow, what I shall buy on my pay day and even what would I be when I turned 25 years old – which is 3 years from now. Growing-up pains sucks, especially when you’re wedged with a juvenile mind, only scheming a Mac book, pairs of havaianas, and gimik with friends on a weekend, because parents doesn’t want you to contribute on household bills so you’re just exerting yourself everyday for your own *ahem* needs.

So let’s go back to the thought of me being a 25 year-old not-a-girl-but-almost-a-woman kind of thing. I plotted some targets to aim at before I will turn 25. Why 25, in case you ask. It’s because, some of my aunts married at the age of 25, a successful, and real career begins at 25 (most career women, that is), and life can be most dreading at 25. But these are all speculations based only on my observations, haha!

One of the things I like doing most is doodling on a piece of paper and make up endless lists of what to do’s, put check on what I’ve done, and cross out superfluous stuff. It brings out the neurotic, true-blue Virgo in me, lol. Keeping a record of what you want in your life makes it more exciting. The more you review it, the more you keep on persisting to make it come to pass.

As a result, I had made a check list here of the goals I wanted to achieve before I turn 25 years old, and then will go back on this same page on my blog again August 27 of year 2010 to see what happens!

Before I turn 25 years old, I should:

- Buy myself a car (with my own savings, of course)

- Have a stable, high paying job that can support my future family (I might not marry by the age of 25, though)

- Visit the States, me buying my own roundtrip ticket from Manila to Los Angeles

- Be super-fluent in Mandarin

- Quit smoking, and be fit

- Learn to put the cheek tint perfectly

- Give my sister some support for her studies (not the tuition fee, gosh!)

- Make a contribution on some household bills (the cable would do, right Ma, Pa?)

- ACT MY AGE AND LOOK MY AGE! 

The ticking of the clock can be hasty sometimes. So, my timer should start NOW.

Oh yeah, it's a tagalog post! At dahil ako'y proud sa aking markang nakuha sa trabaho, gusto kong i-share sa inyong lahat. *drums rolling*

NUMBER 1 AKO!

As they would say, "Madaling makakuha ng mataas na marka, pero mahirap itong i-maintain..." Takot akong bumagsak, aminado akong isa sa mga weakness ko yan. I have this personality na kapag bumabagsak ako, I feel so bad na iisipin ko yung failure na nagawa ko buong araw. Pero sabi nga nila, hindi ka matututo kung hindi mo ito naramdaman. And there, I learned from it.

Maraming beses na akong nagtangkang ipasa ang resignation letter ko, pero quoting Boss Mal, "Do not be hasty with your decisions." And yes, being hasty with my decisions will probably result into something I would regret.

Thank you for the kudos, colleagues! And thank you for that inspiring, yet touching commendation Boss Ricky, our training and quality assurance supervisor. Expect that I will keep on aiming high! This is just the start...

Hey Blog. It’s Sunday and it’s the only day I can take a break from all the stress of working 6 days straight. My plans to go see my high school buddies yesterday was cancelled because I have to render a rest day overtime. It’s a punishment for being 10 minutes late consistently! (Now, I learned) Suppose to be, the rendezvous with my buddies is to celebrate; for a friend who passed a licensure exam, for another friend who was hired as an IT staff and admin assistant, and for me who is now a corporate slave! Just to sum it up, goodbye college and hello work for us!

Anyhow, there are a lot of things I am missing since I am sleeping when the sun is up.  Like for instance, the controversial Binibining Pilipinas whose English is worst than ever, that there is another Filipino who made it to the American Idol, and the Pacquiao-Marquez boxing match is TODAY. Whoa. I only heard of those updates just today! Hope Manny Pacquiao and the Filipino American Idol finalist (forgot her name) will win, though! Luckily, I can view the replays in Youtube!

Can’t think of anything else to rant here… I just want to say that I so loooove this day! Hope Sunday won’t end. Hayyy…  

I love Sundays!!!

Hey there, it’s been a while since I last updated this blog. Cobwebs are everywhere, and I figured that I need to sweep them out. It’s not because I don’t have time to put some musings here, but because I am too lazy. There I said it, finally. I planned to post a year-end post but I think it’s too late.

Anyhow, I still have this love and hate affair with my job, which I acquired months ago. I’m staying because I think I’m old enough to depend on my folks. Besides, they spent 22 long years supporting me and I think it’s time.

The love and hate affair with my job needs to end, too, I guess. Thank you for competitive workmates who manage to challenge me for being number 1, and for a strict, moody boss who will keep you motivated at all causes. No NCNS and IR for me from now on, if you know what I mean haha.

I am damn proud of myself now, I guess. I’m almost surviving this predicament, called “Quarter Life”. There’s a lot of wants-to-do and wants-to-have, but I am appreciating what I have and what I am now. All of those should come in the right places, I suppose.

This post needs not to be serious, but I don’t have something to say here, really. It’s the start the month and summer is approaching fast. All I know is that I need to lose weight, and that goal should start NOW. See you!

I do apologize for my laziness to write something here. Cobwebs and dirt are all over this blog, and I’m sure it missed me a lot...

… And I’ve got an update for you!

Funny how this blogger named dongskyqt plagiarized 3 of my entries, maybe she has a certain admiration on my works or she’s just too lazy (or stupid) to write on her own. But even if you click the link (sorry, too late), she already deleted it. Well, thanks to cheche for letting me know about this blog thief. Visit cheche’s blog, she was able to capture the illicit act!

Anyhoo, the 22 year old me acquired a job a month ago, which I’m not telling unless you beat me to a wall climbing race to the top, haha. (Clue: I learned about Maritess and the Superfriends and The SBC Packers.) Let’s just say the pay is good to buy myself a Macbook in a few months! Ok, asa pa ako.

But hey, Christmas is fast approaching and I want to tell my parents that they should buy me a Macbook this season because of these reasons:

1. I have good grades when I was still in highschool.

2. I have good grades when I was still in college.

3. I never had a failed mark.

You think these reasons are good enough to convince them? If not, then I just have to save up and work my ass out for a Macbook!

I'll try my best to update very very soon!
